Reefer Madness
13th-20th August 2016 @ Venue 45
22nd-27th August 2016 @ Niddry Street
Impromptu Productions proudly present Reefer Madness at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a show about the hilarious journey of two clean-cut kids' descent into a drug crazed abandon of marijuana, ‘evil’ jazz music, sex and violence. This dynamic, highly stylised and satirical musical(originally inspired by the 1936 American anti-marijuana film of the same name) features big, bold Broadway-style showstoppers, slick swing numbers and debaucherous jazz – something to tantalise everyone's taste buds! Don't miss this spectacle tracking the tragic truth of the menace that is marijuana – it will go straight to your head!
Impromptu Productions is a Bristol-based musical theatre company, born in 2013, which specialises in new writings and the undiscovered gems of musical theatre. Reefer Madness was our first show, performed in May 2013 at the Bristol Fringe Bierkeller Theatre.
